Emma's one year check in.
Mine is not quite a success story (yet). But it is still a testimonial for how well the No S diet works if you stick to it. I'm female, age 36, height 167cm. A year ago I started the No S diet. I weighed 66kg and my weight was climbing. I was an emotional eater and I snacked almost continually. Any ...

Not sure about tonight but last night was make-your-own sushi. Cook and season a batch of sushi rice. Place on the table with quartered nori sheets and a selection of fillings, e.g. chicken strips, omelette strips, tuna, tofu, julienned carrots, cucumbers, snow peas, capsicum (peppers), avocado, was...

Friday was a fail. I had seconds at dinner. I should have put extra food on my plate to start with as I knew I was extra hungry. I'm doing well with eating to 70% or 80% full most of the time. It feels good to be satisfied but not too full. But I think I need to eat to 90-100% full once every day or...

I don't know. Is there such a thing as sugar withdrawal? In the first few weeks I experienced strong hunger for an hour or two before meals, starting around the time I was used to having morning and afternoon tea. Sometimes the hunger was accompanied by slight diziness and crankyness. This has dimin...

I've been reading this thread with interest because the mod sounds appealing. It would be great to eliminate S day overeating and have the option of a daily treat. The problem I can see is that, for me, having only one sweet would take as much discipline and control as having none. Maybe even more d...

A civil engineering metaphor and Mireille Guiliano
Concrete is solid and strong but it is inflexible, so concrete structures always develop cracks. That is why we put in control joints. Control joints are cut into the concrete at regular intervals so that, when the cracks form, they follow the joints in neat, regular lines instead of a random patter...

First, and hopefully last, Fail for this month. I had desert of fruit and yoghurt with honey. Without the honey I probably wouldn't consider it a fail.
